Brief aan onbekend Possibly 1849

"Brief aan onbekend" (Letter to an unknown recipient) is a lithograph by Johannes Bosboom, likely dating back to 1849. This document, now in the Rijksmuseum, is not a painting but rather a subscription list for a lithograph portrait of W.H. Schmidt. It showcases Bosboom's interest in printmaking beyond traditional painting, revealing his engagement with contemporary artistic practices. The inscription details the different print versions available and their prices, offering a glimpse into the economics of art production in the 19th century.
